Abstract

The distribution sector of the UK economy accounts for about a quarter of UK service sector output, which in turn represents over half the national output. It lies at the heart of our economic system, representing the link between producers and consumers, and between the domestic and overseas sectors. Yet partly because of our manufacturing-based past, it is poorly measured by official statistics. It was primarily to fill this important gap in the availability of information about developments in the economy that the CBI, supported by The Financial Times, decided to set up a new qualitative business survey of the distributive trades.
